Opis

Justice at a Distance argues that global justice is largely caused by ill-designed local political structures, not because of insufficient aid.

Recenzje

'Justice at a Distance presents a powerful case that justice requires letting others alone. This seemingly simple directive has the potential to massively improve the welfare of individuals across the globe. With their sophisticated grasp of economics, philosophy, and law, Lomasky and Tesón persuasively demonstrate that the best way to help people is to stop hurting them through ill-conceived policies, such as trade and immigration restrictions, that continue to immiserate the world's poor.'
